Travel program:
|
Day 1. 08.09.2018 |
| Departure from Kyiv of the main group. Upon arrival, we all get to the hotel together by public transport. And in the evening, our friendly company will go for dinner with fado (price 65 euro). |
|
Day 2. 09.09.2018 |
| This day will cause another storm of emotions. We will get to know this unusual city closer - Lisbon will charm you! Sintra visiting the Regaleira Estate, Cape Roca, the resorts of Cascais and Estoril. In the evening we will go to the capital's airport to fly to the Azores. And say to yourself quietly, in a whisper: “This is worth living for! :)” We arrive late at San Mige Island and have no time to sleep! Great things await us tomorrow! |
|
Day 3. 10.09.2018 |
| In the morning, waking up and having breakfast, we go on an amazing adventure. On the volcano, in fact, lives the entire island of San Miguel, the largest of the Azores, and all these islands. Once loaded with gold, Spanish and Portuguese galleons stopped at Ponta Delgada on their way from the Americas, and they were hunted by pirates. Once upon a time, transatlantic passenger ships stopped here. Now, when it is easier to fly across the Atlantic, the islands seem to have grown old, and look like a grandmother's "house in the village": meadows, cows, flowers Today we will learn what it is: "To live like on a volcano." What we will see and try today: - a picturesque lake and a small town on the island of San Miguel - Furnas and tea plantations – Botanical Park Terra Noshtra (entrance ticket for an additional fee – 8 €). And for lunch we have: dishes cooked in volcanic heat! (for an additional fee). For hours we will wander along the deserted alleys between tropical and not very plants, photograph azaleas, camellias, feed the fish and the unkind black swan. At such moments, believe me, you will want to say: “Stop a moment, you are beautiful!” And an evening in such places, but in a friendly company is the best thing that can happen to you this late summer! |
|
Day 4. 11.09.2018 |
| Today is going to be a big day! We set off to discover the visiting card of the Azores archipelago and one of the seven natural wonders of Portugal - Lake Set Cidades. The path lies through picturesque fields and hills, and everything is so green-green, bright, as painted. And that is not all. Take a breath! Our path lies further to the fiery lake - Lagoa de Fogo. Such natural colors of greenery and blue water are few on the planet. And the most buzz is the calm and the absence of a crowd of people. Today's dessert is pineapple plantations. Azores is the only place in the world where pineapples are grown commercially in greenhouses. Cozy paths between greenhouses, a bright orange sunset - this place will restore your strength! And in the evening we will dream together under the starry sky, but each one will think of his own! |
|
Day 5. 09/12/2018 |
| And then - more! A small rotorcraft Bombardier will take us to the new beauties of Pico Island in just 50 minutes. “Above the Clouds” - this will be all your photo captions of this day. And our goal is Mount Pico and only the endless ocean in the distance. On this island there is a volcano whose height is 2351 meters - this is the highest point in Portugal. It cuts through the clouds, and its upper part is covered with snow in winter. Pico gives both a beautiful view of the volcano and a breathtaking view from its top. Rising to the very top, you feel like the ruler of Azor. Well, or, rings ... - you decide on the spot yourself). The end of the day will be a unique experiment on the island of the volcano - a visit to the Gruta das Torres lava tube. And we will spend the evening with a glass of verdelho wine, which was on the tables of kings and kings. The taste of this wine, born from lava, will be a wonderful memory of the days spent on the Pico. |
|
Day 6. 09/13/2018 |
| We spend one more day in this truly heavenly place called the Azores. We are going to Faial Island. Faial is a watercolor in which two colors predominate: green - fresh grass and thickets of cryptomeria, and blue - kilometers of hydrangeas that cut the fields and mix with the color of the sky and the sea. Get ready to climb Caldeira and Capelinhos volcanoes. In the evening you will agree with the phrase that here life has a different taste. |
|
Day 7. 09/14/2018 |
| Today the thirst for adventure will take us to Porto. Flying once again over the Azores, we find ourselves in mainland Portugal. Porto incredibly handsome and unique. Once you've been there, you'll definitely want to come back. Today we will feel like actors in Hollywood films, and the city itself will act as the scenery - quirky, strange, unhurried, bright, with an incredible atmosphere and emotions! After a busy walk, I want to sit in a cozy restaurant with a glass of port wine (6 euros per person). And what could be better than watching the sunset during a romantic cruise on the Douro River (12.5 euros per person). You will remember this evening for a long time, and will be a worthy end to our expedition. |
|
Day 8. 15.09.2018 |
| What a pity that all good things end quickly. We fly in all directions with a baggage of vivid emotions and impressions, but recognizing one thing: this trip is guaranteed to be remembered for a lifetime!
